“At the time, [In the Mood for Love] was one of the most difficult productions I’d ever done. But now, when I think back, what I remember are the small moments. Time has a way of softening the edges of memory. Perhaps [it endures] because the film isn’t really about 1960s Hong Kong, but about something more fundamental – how we connect with each other, how we navigate desire and restraint, how we construct narratives to make sense of our lives. These are questions that don’t date, that every generation has to answer for itself.”
— Wong Kar Wai, speaking in the new issue of Sight and Sound
